Black sheep from Holts?

MrOneEyedBoh · 09-27-2009, 05:24 PM

I posted a thread about dark oily maduro wrapper cigars. And I was browsing thru the holts catalog and I seen a cigar called the Black Sheep. How are these? Any thought on their taste as a dark maduro?

At $ 21.95 for a bundle of 20...not sure!! There are some cheap gems out there. Might be a diamond in the rough.

I seem to remember a friend trying one and having his lips turn black. Might be a dye job on those.

Purchased some, and they are not very good, and are, indeed, dyed in the wool.

I posted a link to those in your other thread as a joke. They are drippy maduros all right, drippy with dye covering sh!t tobacco.

Until then I can't say that I had ever even heard of them

Good enough guys thanks! Guess it would be too good to be true. I seen these from Taboo.. These look tasty, and hopefully legit.

Those are well blended, well made cigars, abeit they are mild. Not sure what you mean by "legit" - if you mean dyed wrappers, they don't appear to be enhanced from the ones I've smoked.

For my money at Taboo, I prefer the Special Forces Original, which is a much stronger, fuller, spicier blend. I will also admit that I do like Costa Rican Maduro wrappers which is what the SF Original uses.

Both are good cigars, just depends on what you like.

Taboo makes very good quality cigars. Not all fit my flavor preferences, but I've never had one that was poorly made. Very good value for money too. I particularly like the Dominican Maduro.

Holts' "Old Henry" has a very fine maduro.

Along with the Tampa Sweetheart #500s and Sancho Panza Double Maduro Quixotes...some of the best value maduros out there.

Sooner or later you are going to have to bite the bullet and buy something. On your cigar journey, you will find smokes you like and ones you don't. No matter how many cigars you ask about, most if not all will have those that like them and those that don't

heavyd · 09-27-2009, 06:48 PM

Buy 'em, and get a small cooler for the smokes you don't care for. When it tops out...send them to the troops. I know that sounds bad on the surface, but believe me, they appreciate all stogies. A lot of the guys smoke cigars. The trick is finding a source that can get them delivered to the folks who are in the field.

MrOneEyedBoh · 09-27-2009, 06:55 PM

I have a few friends that are in the sand now, thats a good idea. I seen the troops forum here and I seen a few guys send sticks to them.

And yeah I will have to pull the gun pnoon like you said...
